Answer:
3 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the numbers.
x + y = 20 . . . . . . . . the numbers add up to 20
x = 5 + 4y . . . . . . . . one number is 5 more than 4 times the other
Substituting the second equation into the first:
(5 +4y) +y = 20
5y = 15 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5
y = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
x = 20 -3 = 17
The numbers are 17 and 3.
